Im a chinese studying in australia currently, a uni called Monash. Ive found that no one in aus are learning or want to learn chinese.

Im wondering why are there so many guys learning chinese? do u guys all want to come to china for business or some else? or just feel funny learning a useless language?

I grow up in china, to be honest, chinese is a beautiful languare, with over 10 thousands individual symbols. but when we judge a usefulness of a kind of language today, we first need to get clear that if the country is playing a important role internationally.

obviously china is not. this world is prepared for those who speaks english. that's why there are so so so many chinese who want to learn eng and want to study overseas.

can anyone give me an explanation about ur purpose in learning chinese?
